Soaring of Galaxia
Chapter 559: Four Great Dao Warriors

These words best described Qin Wushuang's situation ever since he had embarked on the path to become a martial artist. The first time he had escaped from a calamity was at that mountain cave in the Green Jade Mountain, the First Circle of the Seven Deadly Formation Arrays. Initially, he fell into that giant pit when many elite warriors surrounded him. He thought he had died. In the end, he had received an enormous blessing—the Seven Deadly Formation Arrays!

From that point on, he had started a legendary journey in the Tian Xuan Land.

To describe his current situation, Qin Wushuang felt as if he had returned to his mother's body. This kind of feeling was miraculous and unusually beautiful. After Qin Wushuang had entered the Transformation Void Martial Stage, that protective layer had automatically become stronger. The degree of comfort and the temperature inside it made Qin Wushuang feel as if he had been sent back to the dawn of civilization.

Qin Wushuang's Dantian was absorbing and fusing the spiritual qi from all directions at neither a slow or fast speed. At his current level in the Void Martial Stage, although absorbing spiritual qi was no longer the main method for improving one's level, the improvements of the Primordial Spirit still needed one to refine the Dantian.

Qin Wushuang enjoyed this feeling to the extreme. Feeling muddleheaded, it seemed as if he had truly returned to his mother's body, regardless of the changes happening to the outside world.

Qin Wushuang had no clue that in his current environment, the spiritual qi in here was several times richer than the qi on the outside. Training in here would allow him to progress five times faster.

Of course, Qin Wushuang knew that it would be impossible for him to reach the Profound Void Martial Stage by relying on this environment. To improve his Primordial Spirit, in addition to accumulation, he would need assistance from experiences in actual combat. The training throughout the Void Martial Stage required comprehension and accumulation.

However, of course Qin Wushuang would not miss the opportunity to train in such a superior environment. Even if he could not swallow all the qi, in this environment, he could refine the Dantian to lay a solid foundation to help him move towards the Profound Void Martial Stage. Since Qin Wushuang planned to use the Sky Pilfered Pill to break into the Profound Stage directly, it was essential for him to train harder.

Although the Sky Pilfered Pill was created to defy the natural order, it was a method to pull up seedlings in order to help them grow. To put it bluntly, it was a shortcut that would push one to enter the Profound Void Martial Stage forcefully. Essentially, this process defied the natural order of the universe. Or else, it would not be named the "Sky Pilfered Pill."

However, if Qin Wushuang could build a solid foundation for his body and his Dantian, it would not be too hasty to use the Sky Pilfered Pill then. By that time, where water flows, a canal is formed.

At that time, the Sky Pilfered Pill would not be pulling him by force, but act as a form of guidance like adding icing on the cake. After Qin Wushuang had understood this principal, the more he started to train free of arrogance and impetuousness.

He also knew that for now, he would not need to worry about the matters happening in the outside world. Even when Luo Tongtian and his group returned to the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect, they would not discover his whereabouts for the time being.

He was unaware of his location and even Bao Bao could not enter with his underground travelling technique. Despite being an elite warrior of the Exquisite Mysteries Boundary, Luo Tongtian would not possess the divine skill to allow him to move the mountain and crack the earth. Most importantly, Luo Tongtian would not have guessed he was still hiding here.

"Currently, I only wish Bao Bao and Lone has successfully escaped. As long as Bao Bao and Lone manages to escaped, I can train with absolute focus. I will train until I am certain I can enter the Profound Void Martial Stage!"

Just as he was thinking about Bao Bao, Bao Bao sent a message via his spiritual perception.

"Boss, we already made it out of the Heavenly Sun Mountain under the cover of the chaos. Ha ha, all thanks to your foresight. The Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect has started to bar the gate. However, they did not dare to stop us when several hundred of the spiritual beasts charged at them at the same time. Ha ha, we have successfully broken through the siege, and are now moving towards the Floating Snow House! Boss, you better be careful!"

"Don't worry !" Qin Wushuang only gave a concise and vigorous answer.

…

After two days, the high ranking officials of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect outside the sect began to return to the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect one after another. The first one to rush back was not Luo Tongtian, but Luo Hengye, the Second Dao Warrior!

In the end, Luo Hengye could not persuade the Sound of Thunder Sect and Heavenly Punishing Villa to send elite warriors of the Divine Dao to support them. Since the Divine Brilliance Prefecture was the closest to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, Luo Hengye was the first high ranking official to make it back. Not long after his return, Luo Tongtian also returned.

The next person to return was Tian Mingshan, the Third Dao Warrior.

Presently, the four Dao Warriors had regrouped. Their presence had caused everyone in the entire Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect to feel reassured. The previously low morale was also revived.

On the third, and fourth day, the Shakyamuni, and Elders also returned. After the great calamity, the entire Heavenly Sun Mountain was spared from death and still showed a thriving vitality.

Only, the main architectures of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect had been destroyed. Fortunately, Zuo Lengshuang had mobilized all non-injured survivors to build simple housings in these past few days. After a few days, they had built some simple lodges.

However, Zuo Lengshuang's little actions did not make Luo Tongtian feel the slightest appreciation. Ever since his return, he had not looked Zuo Lengshuang in the eye.

Despite feeling the butterflies in his stomach, Zuo Lengshuang did not dare to say anything.

For the first time since the great calamity, a group of high ranking officials sat together on stone seats. The atmosphere of the scene was incredibly downcast and overbearing.

Under the public's questioning eyes, Zuo Lengshuang and the other elite warriors that had stayed to guard the place could not raise their heads. Although they also nursed a grievance, this was their reality. Sometimes the cause was not important when the outcome was laid out before everyone. Certainly, the people that had stayed would be the ones to get blamed first.

"Fourth, speak, what exactly happened?" Finally, with a gloomy expression, Luo Tongtian had spoken.

Inwardly, Zuo Lengshuang also cried out for justice. No one could change the outcome of the matter regardless of who had stayed to guard the sect. Only he was unfortunate to have this fall into his lap.

"Head Dao Warrior, we already uncovered that the Subduing Devil Stone Tablet is destroyed. All mechanisms, and spiritual formations connected to the tablet within the Heavenly Sun Mountain had exploded and collapsed."

"I already know all of this, I am asking for the cause!" Without prior signal, Luo Tongtian roared and opened his eyes widely, "I want the cause!"

Zuo Lengshuang said with an aggrieved tone: "For the cause, we can only ask Luo Zhen!"

After he had finished speaking, he waved his hand to have someone bring Luo Zhen over under escort. With glazed eyes, Luo Zhen walked forward numbly. When he saw Luo Tongtian and the others, he did not bow or speak as he only giggled foolishly: "Dead, all dead, ha ha, it's good for them to be dead. With a clean death, I also do not wish to live!"

After he had finished cursing, suddenly, he fell down to the ground and wept loudly. Luo Zhen had become insane since he could not accept such turn of events.

For his entire life, he had spent all his thoughts, worked hard and earnestly raised his grandson. In the end, it was all in vain!

Unable to take such stimulation, Luo Zhen had lost his sanity.

Luo Tongtian frowned and glared at Zuo Lengshuang: "You are letting a lunatic give me the answer?"

Zuo Lengshuang mumbled: "How can he be insane? He was well before. Certainly he is pretending! Luo Zhen, do not play the fool."

Luo Tongtian waved his hand impatiently: "He is crazy, but you are not. Should I say 'please' to get you to tell me about the sequence of events?"

Zuo Lengshuang immediately said he would not dare as cold sweat covered his body. He repeated the words spoken by Luo Zhen without leaving out a single detail. He also did not add any extra content to the story.

"This way, it was orchestrated by Luo Yang?" Luo Tongtian asked with an indifferent tone, "Then, in these three days, have you caught Luo Yang?"

Zuo Lengshuang turned to look at Shakyamuni Chong Guang and answered: "The task of hunting down Luo Yang is the responsibility of Shakyamuni Chong Guang. Chong Guang, come and tell the Head Dao."

Shakyamuni Chong Guang said: "For the past three days, I did not stop moving. For all his relatives, direct bloodline, those from the branch families, I have caught all of them as long as they were not dead. The only person I did not catch is Luo Yang."

"Could it be that he has escaped out of the Heavenly Sun Mountain?" Tian Mingshan, the Third Dao Warrior suddenly spoke up after having stayed silent from the beginning.

Zuo Lengshuang denied: "It's impossible for him to act with such speed! As soon as the incident occurred, after the few of us had a meeting, I sent Shakyamuni Jin Xu to block the entrance of the Heavenly Sun Mountain!"

"Jin Xu, after you went to block the path, did you let anyone out?" Luo Tongtian turned around to ask.

Shakaymuni Jin Xu replied with a firm and solemn tone: "I vow that not a single human was let go!"

However, Zuo Lengshuang said: "Jin Xu, are you still lying at this moment? Those hundreds of spiritual beasts, weren't you the one who let them go?"

Everyone fixed their eyes on Shakyamuni Jin Xu.

Shakyamuni Jin Xu already knew that Zuo Lengshuang would certainly push the blame onto him. After all, everyone wanted to shift the blame at this moment.

However, he remained calm and said without blinking: "Yes, I did issue the order to let those spiritual beasts go. Fourth Dao Warrior, you know that under that circumstance, I only needed to say the word to stop them. Those spiritual beasts are incapable of threatening my life. Regardless of whether I can stop them or not, wouldn't it just be the matter of a word?"

"Then why did you not issue the order?" Zuo Lengshuang asked coldly.

"Issue the order? If I did, I would be sending those ten core disciples to hell! I can protect myself, but what about them? Can they resist against the rampage of a few hundred spiritual beasts?" Shakyamuni Jin Xu asked with frustration, "Under that situation, even if I had issued the order to stop them, besides sending the core disciples to their death, we would not have been able to stop the movements of the vicious spiritual beasts. No offense intended, but let me ask you, what were you doing at that time?"

Zuo Lengshuang said with a cold sneer: "You do know how to be a good person! In the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect, a military order must be obeyed. You did not carry out the order when I asked you, and now you are asking me?"

"Fourth Dao Warrior, I am only asking you, how much of a difference is there in stopping them or not at that time. Can we stop the raging tide made up of a few hundred vicious beasts?"

"Could it be that you do not know military order is bigger than life and death?" Zuo Lengshuang asked him with a rhetorical question.

Shakyamuni Jin Xu spat: "I only know that at this moment, the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect cannot afford any more loss! Hundreds of core disciples have died at the Wolf Ivory Mountain. If we had lost those ten core disciples, what course would the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect follow, who would support it in the future?"

Luo Tongtian glared at these two coldly: "Do you find it not enough? Just go on!"

Shakyamuni Jin Xu said loudly: "Head Dao Warrior, I have lived a few hundred years, I do not fear death. If you wish to lay the blame at my feet and cut my head off now, I will not make a single complaint. However, I must speak a piece of my mind!"

"What do you want to say?" Luo Tongtian asked coldly.

"I want to say that it was unnecessary to get the entire Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect involved with the trivial matter of the human countries. For this matter, from beginning to end, we should have not poured so much energy into it! If all the elite warriors of the sect had stayed inside the mountain gate, I believe we would not have fallen into our current state!"

His words were incredibly bold as he was directly challenging Luo Tongtian's authority!
